Gemstone

Story

So many of us have at one time or another dreamt of having upon a finger a coveted diamond ring from the 18th century. Alas, so few of these jewels have managed to survive the trials and tribulations of life.

Fortunately the marvels of modern day have smiled upon us as a modern jeweler in England has taken on the task of retaining the flash and the flurry of such a piece while incorporating a modern twist. In placing the diamonds in open back (rather than closed) settings, this classic cluster ring can be immersed in water with no fear of damage making it perfect for everyday wear and display.

Traditional with its silver-topped 18k yellow gold mount, a mix of twenty-six (26) old European and old mine cut diamonds of an known total weight of 2.78 carats have been positioned in the typical 18th century cut down crimped silver setting. The floral or cluster form features a centered diamond of 1.13 carats (J-K color; VS2-SI1 clarity) surrounded by an additional 1.65 carats of unparalleled glitter and fire.
